BIST BYTES Focus: 4 C's
Monday-Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is a powerful tool that helps us become life-long problem solvers. Adults use critical thinking everyday to help make decision about how to spend their money, manage their time, and take care of you! As students, you use critical thinking to decide what to play at recess, when to do your homework, and to solve math problems. Next week, you all will be working with your teachers to solve problems in new and creative ways.
Tuesday-Collaboration
Have you ever heard the expression that two heads are better than one? We are always smarter when we can share our ideas with other people and get feedback. When we collaborate, we work together to solve problems. Next week, you will be collaborating with other students to create new ideas to solve problems!
Wednesday-Communication
In order to get the most out of collaboration, first, we have to be really good at communication. Communication means being able to share our thoughts and ideas. Sometimes we do this through talking, but other times we use words, pictures, or even our actions to share our ideas. Making sure that we communicate clearly is an important part of innovation. We can't wait to see how you all communicate your ideas to us next week during the I-Week Showcase!
Thursday-Creativity
Wouldn't it be weird if everyone liked the same things and thought the same things? Life would be so boring! Our last C is Creativity. Being able to think in unique and different ways helps make our world exciting! Creative people invent products that change our lives like electricity and computers! Many of you will be inventing during !-Week. Be sure to use your creativity to think of new solutions that are outside the box and different from everyone around you.
